Default First Daff

I've got to check the listings for which variety is which but I nipped
out between bouts of rain and took these pictures.

This variety is about 7 days ahead of the next one.
With luck in their 2nd year they will be earlier.
There are almost a couple odd dozen crocus out to this stage,

they just need some sun to open fully.

Anything sticking it's head up that high would have had it blow off
by the F8/F9 that has been blowing most of today.

Had a inch or two of snow yesteday, but today has only been rain with
some sleet lashing against the windows.
